An Australian historian determined to find the truth, two young men searching for identity, a stolen inheritance, a wishing tree, a long-lost grandmother and an unlikely sweetheart come together in an original and audacious novel. Set in Australia and Turkey, and spanning almost a hundred years, The Secret Son is a remarkable debut. At once joyous and haunting it is a moving meditation on love, honour and belonging. It is a story about the strength of women and what it means to be a good man.
